If you have children, why not make the world your classroom? Travel helps children to appreciate diversity. It teaches them about tolerance. It opens their minds. After all, what children think of the world depends on what you show them.
Our Family Adventures are specially designed to meet the needs of active families. Recommended departure dates coincide with school vacation periods (although you could book a private family adventure any time of the year.) Trip leaders are parents themselves, and when appropriate, may bring their own children along. Itineraries are family-friendly and include visits to village schools, homes, and always involve interaction with local children. Every three to four days, we also provide expert childcare services to give parents an occasional adults' night out. Ask any parent who has taken a great adventure with a child: it brings families closer and creates memories that are cherished forever.
Our family adventures are named in tribute to the Magic Tree House series of books and like the books, the tours are designed to take families to wonder-filled, magical, out-of-the-ordinary places that still exist in today's world.

Elephants in Springtime:

Mongolia's Gobi Desert was one of the first places on Earth to yield its treasure of dinosaur fossils. Staying in ger camps, we take Bactrian (two-humped) camels on a safari into the Gobi and join in on a real dinosaur fossil dig.

Camels at Christmas:
(Touring in Rajasthan, India)
Rajasthan, camels and kids make a wonderful combination. Rajasthanis love children and children love the specter of the colorful desert nomads and their camel trains. From a private desert retreat near the fortress city of Jodhpur, we explore the tribal communities and stark beauty of Rajasthan's Thar Desert.
